Experience the grace of being a new creature

luzia2014The word of God, one day, came to us because someone brought it, and by faith we believe and we proved how much God is good. The psalmist says: “your salvation spreads across Earth, and the Holy Spirit says:” in fact, those who invoke the name of the Lord shall be saved. ” But, how does one invoke it, without believing in it? And as to believing, without first having heard of him? And how to listen, without someone to preach? And how to preach without being sent to it? That’s the way it is written, “how beautiful are the feet of those who announce the well.”

Soon, “faith comes from preaching and preaching is done by the word of Christ” (Rm 10). This happens with all who are with Jesus Christ and experience the fun of being a new creature.

The preaching and witness must exist. We, who have been evangelized, we are called to evangelize, because we received the joy of the Gospel. You need to advertise with life, but also with the words; timely and untimely for others to be saved.

We are not afraid, nor be comfortable and lazy. We do justice to our Christian vocation to bring God’s love and the invitation to conversion for all.

“Said Andrew to his brother: we found the Messiah, who is called the Christ, and led him to Jesus.” (Jn 1, 41-42)

Give us, o Lord, the force required to announce in our work, family, and everyone we meet, the Gospel, the meaning of our life, and the joy of salvation.

Come, Lord Jesus!
